Forgive me if this has been asked but this is all still new to me. Today I walked 82 minutes at approximately 2.5 mph. MFP has this as 475 calories burned. However, my Fitbit (Charge 2) says 800 calories. Big difference! I don’t have them linked. Which number should I go by?

    Confirm it:

    You would use Gross option when syncing is involved.

    It totally depends on mass and pace - you only gave 1 figure. But that isn't that fast. Incline?

    How long you been using the Charge 2?
    And was it in HR mode?
    And did the HR seem accurate - meaning did you confirm it with neck/wrist pulse for 15 sec?
